Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 71: Chapter 71: The Stone of Creation, Space Characteristics. (Second Update)

「Magic Capital.」

Here lies one of the centers of the Dragon Nation. It is also one of the most prosperous cities. Even though Linzhou is quite decent, it still falls far short when compared to the Magic Capital. Here, there is the largest Pet Beast trading market in the Dragon Nation, offering all sorts of resources and Pet Beasts. Even some unique Pet Beasts from other countries can be seen here. Even at this hour, the Magic Capital remains as bright as ever, like an eternal city that never sleeps.

And in an extremely vast area within this city, there resides the Magic Capital Advanced Beast-Taming Academy. It is also one of the top advanced Beast Tamer institutions within the Dragon Nation. It is the cradle of many battle-profession Beast Tamers. Countless top figures in the Dragon Nation have graduated from this academy.

At this moment, within an Advanced Level dormitory of the Magic Capital Academy, three people in the Meditation Room had yet to emerge from their state of meditation, even though it was normally time to rest. In the Magic Capital Academy, competition was omnipresent. Only by constantly striving forward could one hope to lead the race.

However, in this tranquil moment of meditation, a ringtone suddenly sounded. All three frowned almost simultaneously and opened their eyes. But when the other two saw the source of the ringing, they said nothing more. It was Miss Qin’s phone. Even within the Magic Capital Academy, as her roommates, no one dared to comment. Moreover, they knew Qin Xiaoxue took her cultivation very seriously. Normally, anyone daring to call at this hour either had something important or was a close relative; otherwise, the caller was sure to be in for a rough time.

Sure enough, under the watchful eyes of the other two, Qin Xiaoxue’s delicate brows furrowed, a hint of impatience and irritation flashing in her eyes. Don’t they know that her meditation time, from seven to twelve at night, is sacrosanct?

She impatiently took out her phone. Qin Xiaoxue then paused, slightly stunned. Before the watchful eyes of her two classmates, the irritation and impatience visibly vanished, replaced by a faint smile they had never seen on her before. The speed of this transformation was astounding; the two girls, Qin Xiaoxue’s classmates for two years, had never witnessed anything like it.

However, what happened next was even more incredible to them.

Holding the phone, Qin Xiaoxue neither answered it immediately nor hastily hung up. Instead, she spoke to the other two, ”Xiao Xiao, Xiao Lu, I’m going to take a call. You two continue. Sorry for the disturbance, my apologies!”

With that, Qin Xiaoxue hurriedly trotted out of the Meditation Room, not even bothering to close the door, and eagerly answered the call, ”Hello, Su Ping...”

In the Meditation Room, the two girls exchanged glances, both noticing the peculiar expression in each other’s eyes.

What in the world?

Miss Qin didn’t impatiently hang up or immediately block the caller? She even interrupted her own meditation for it?

This was truly unprecedented.

And most importantly, that name she mentioned just before leaving the room.

Su Ping?

They had never heard of him.

Miss Qin knows someone like that?!

There’s definitely something fishy going on! There must be a story here!

The two girls no longer had any inclination to continue meditating. Another few dozen minutes of meditation wouldn’t lead to a breakthrough anyway. After all, gossiping and showboating are humanity’s fourth basic instinct. So, the two girls exchanged a glance and, without a second thought, rose to their feet in unison, approaching the door to eavesdrop.

Unfortunately, by the time Qin Xiaoxue answered the call, she had already stepped out of the dormitory.

”You received that thing, huh? Haha, did it take you a long time to open? Did you think I was messing with you, and then, suddenly, when you got to the end, you found a little surprise?”

Qin Xiaoxue’s triumphant voice on the other end of the line left Su Ping somewhat exasperated—not because of Miss Qin’s trivial prank, but because of the item itself:

”Miss Qin, this item is too precious. I really can’t accept it.”

”Just call me Xiao Xue, or by my first name. Besides, what’s so precious about it? This thing is perfectly suited for your Pet Beast Home Talent. I remembered I had it and just brought it over for you. It was just lying around gathering dust anyway.” Qin Xiaoxue then continued earnestly, ”The Pet Beast Home primarily concerns the cultivation of a Beast Tamer’s Beast Taming Space. That item doesn’t significantly enhance combat power; its main application is for Beast Tamers. If you plan to house many Pet Beasts in your Beast Taming Space in the future, its proper management is a crucial aspect of your development.”

Before Su Ping could speak again, Qin Xiaoxue hurriedly continued, ”Do you think your family’s Secret Realm was just left behind by chance? A Beast Tamer’s Beast Taming Space is their foundation and primary resource generator. The more effective the Beast Taming Space, the wealthier the Beast Tamer becomes—as they say, a rising tide lifts all boats. This is also immensely beneficial for your future development. That Stone of Creation can not only endow a Beast Tamer’s Beast Taming Space with the ’ecological cycle’ Trait, but it can also continuously absorb spiritual energy, thereby expanding your Beast Taming Space. It’s very suitable for you.”

Su Ping smiled wryly. How could he not know how suitable it was? When he saw this thing’s effects, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.But this item was truly too valuable.

”Alright, alright, I still need to meditate, so I’m hanging up now. If there’s anything else, we can talk about it during the day.”

The line went dead.

Su Ping let out a helpless sigh. Although his father’s teachings still seemed to echo in his ears, Su Ping had truly never considered repaying such a favor by dedicating his life to her.Indeed, is the hidden meaning of a steel wool ball really ’endurance brings wealth’?

A Beast Tamer’s primary Abilities manifest mainly in two ways. Firstly, each time they advance a Level, they can contract an additional Pet Beast. Secondly, and crucially, there is the Beast Taming Space. As a core Ability of Beast Tamers, each time they advance to a new Realm, their Beast Taming Space also changes, evolving with each advancement. Besides its area expanding, certain corresponding Trait effects will also emerge. These are, in essence, enhancements to the Beast Taming Space.

For example, some common Traits include:

[Volcano: A Fire Element recovery-type Trait. The Fire Element spiritual energy within the Beast Taming Space becomes more abundant, and the recovery rate for Fire Element Pet Beasts is accelerated...]

[Mine: A Gold and Earth resource-type Trait. There is a chance for ore veins of corresponding Levels to condense within the Beast Taming Space...]

The variety of such effects is vast. Most of the time, the development of these Traits depends on the Beast Tamer’s chosen Pet Beasts, combined with their Talent and an element of randomness. However, certain treasures can, through external influence, alter the Traits that emerge within a Beast Taming Space. Some can even allow Beast Tamers to awaken additional Trait effects.

And the stone before him now was precisely such a treasure.

Su Ping looked helplessly at the card describing this item. It clearly stated:

[Stone of Creation: A special Emperor Level Peak resource. Can be integrated into a Beast Tamer’s Beast Taming Space. After the Beast Tamer advances a Great Realm, the Beast Taming Space will gain the ’ecological cycle’ Trait. Furthermore, it will slowly expand as it Takes Root within the Beast Taming Space and, to a certain extent, increase the Beast Tamer’s meditation speed.]
